Subject: Atom & Wiod
Subject: Atom & Wiod
The description of the Lucretian atom is wonderfully applicable to the chemical atom, the existence of which, already quite a complex little world, is
...
highly probable. We are not wholly without hope that the real weight of each atom may some day be known, and their number in each material ; that the form and motion of the parts of each atom, and the distance they are separated, may be calculated ; that the motions by which they produce light, heat, and electricity may be illustrated by exact geometrical diagrams; then the motion of the spheres will be neglected for a while, in admiration of the maze in which the tiny atoms turn. Yet when we have found a mechanical theory by which the phenomena of inorganic matter can be mathematically deduced from the motion of materials endowed with a few simple properties, we must not forget that Democritus, Leucippus, and Epicurus began the work ; and we may even now recognize their merit, and acknowledge Lucretius not only as a great poet, but as the clear expositor of a very remarkable theory of the constitution of matter. - North British Review, 1868.
